This fucking song. I've seen Coheed live many times, but have never managed to be around for this song. Neverender London night 2 would have been my only dead certain chance to see it, but alas, it was cancelled, and they haven't played it in any of their UK sets since then, so I never managed to see this live. It pains me to this day. 4:55 onwards is so fucking awesome. The initial burst of euphoria when the chorus finally breaks through, then the 'I fought the decisions...' section which I like to consider to be one of their best 'lets-fuck-shit-up' moments, then a good little bit of chugging for good measure and then the multi-layered vocals to add to the chorus, if it wasn't good enough already. I constantly repeat that last part of the song when I listen to it. Holy shit balls I love this song.

There were some road works going on just outside the venue, and one of the workers hit an underground power cable with his pneumatic drill. It caused a power cut for the venue as well as a few of the other buildings in the surrounding area. Unfortunately, the man died. There was nothing that could be done apart from canceling the show that night, much to everyone's disappointment, which angered a lot of people because they weren't completely aware of the tragedy that had caused it to happen.
